Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread, halved

- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning until well blended.
2. Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise and place both halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. Brush the garlic butter mixture over the surface of each bread half.
3. Bake the bread for about 5 minutes, just until the edges start to crisp up.
4. In a separate bowl, toss the cooked spaghetti noodles with the marinara sauce until evenly coated.
5. Spoon the saucy spaghetti onto each toasted bread half, spreading it out evenly.
6. Generously sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the spaghetti layers.
7. Return the loaded bread halves to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and starting to brown.
8. Once out of the oven, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Slice into portions and serve warm for a delightful twist on pasta night!

– Spice it up: For a little extra kick, try adding a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce to the spaghetti mixture.
